Story
Those who want to maintain the status quo, those who want to break it. In the not-too-distant future, the world is filled with conflict, war, and exhaustion.
As war rages, a passenger plane is accidentally shot down. Casualties are confirmed one after another, but one girl survives unscathed. She grows into a beautiful woman, and over time, she awakens to mysterious abilities. Initially transferred to a private research institute, she catches the eye of the government military, who unleashes her powers for military purposes.
This power, which even bends the laws of the universe, is called “mechanical magic.” Seeing her remarkable success in combat, the government forces seek even greater powers, and conduct brutal human experiments on her. Then, one incident causes her magical powers to go out of control,
causing an “astral impact.”The powerful shockwaves spread over a wide area, granting countless girls the benefits of mechanized magic. Soon, girls with magical powers are increasingly seen on the front lines. Due to her beautiful fighting style, she was called the “Vanguard Princess” and inspired the soldiers. A year passed, and as the war drew to a close, she, who was thought to be missing, was reincarnated as the “Enforcer of Law” and plotted the annihilation of humanity. And as if guided by her guidance, the Vanguard Princesses headed to the battlefield…
